GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation

Countdown to compliance May 25, 2018

Selligent strives for the highest standards in personal data privacy and security. Data Protection – It’s part of our DNA

Since its founding in Brussels in 1990, Selligent has operated under the mantle of the European Union’s strict data privacy laws and continues to adhere to high standards where data privacy and data security are concerned. Selligent partners with its clients to store their data in accordance with their needs and the regulations they are subject to.

Selligent is proud to be an omnichannel marketing provider addressing the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements over a year in advance of implementation by being awarded with ISO 27018 certification in Europe. The certification, the standard for protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the cloud, was set forth by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and requires adherence to regulatory requirements on the protection of PII. The certification attests to the security of Selligent’s internal information systems and data, and ensures that requested protocols are in place to protect against data loss for companies working with Selligent.

Selligent became ISO 27018 compliant in Europe a year and a half before the GDPR deadline - not because the guidelines appeared on the horizon – but because protecting the privacy of our client’s data is deeply engrained in Selligent’s history, company culture, as well as in our products and work processes.

How Selligent Enables GDPR Compliance

We invest in obtaining top certifications

Demonstrating ongoing commitment to the protection of our client’s private data and that of their customers is a priority for Selligent. These certifications are further confirmation that Selligent adheres to high security standards, and that data privacy lies at the core of its values and philosophy.

ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 certifications – Selligent is certified in ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 in both Europe and the United States. and ISO 27018 in Europe. (ISO 27018 certification in the United States is currently being processed and expected soon.)

Selligent is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework – Privacy Shield Certification supports transatlantic commerce between EU and the United States to provide companies on both sides of the Atlantic with a mechanism to comply with GDPR’s data protection requirements.
